Ethical issues in holistic health and healing

Abstract

"We are on the threshold of a new century. Science and technology have made tremendous progress in the recent past. Science is revealing startling discoveries like DNA, genetic manipulation, embryo experiment, cloning, and human embryonic cells. At a world conference of scientists in Tokyo, the scientists were saying that by genetic manipulation they can make a baby of ones choice - the complexion, the gender, the height, qualities of brain and other features. The growth of science in isolation has ignored human and ethical values. It is in this background and context that we are discussing the significant theme of wholistic health and healing."
